It appears to be better than normal, not sure why. The mummy bus just had it's MOT and the tyres are getting a tad low with an advisory. With winter coming and the wife often giving lifts to other little ones as well, thought I would stick some new tyres on for the winter.

Costco are putting on 2x Goodyear 225/50 R17 Efficient Grip Performance 2's for £199 fitted.

Which is actually cheaper than I was paying 2 years ago 

Quick search suggested that was a really good deal, other main brands at least £130/150 a tyre. With only budgets around £90 a corner.

I know their online price often doesn't match in store prices, but the still want £254 each for mine

If you're worried about the changing weather, at least stick 4 seasons on it.

Can vouch for the GY Vector 4 seasons having g run the ML for about 8 months on them.

Will plough through anything without being fazed.

As good as the Efficientgrips are, fitting new summer tyres as the weather changes could be suicidal as it takes a while for the release compounds to wear off.

The first roundabout should do it

My Dad used to stick remoulds on his Marina pickup and used to drive everywhere at 40mph which was fine for him. 

The 17 year old Tigger never considered the quality of the rubber keeping him on the road as he drove a bit faster than 40mph, but luckily it was fine for him also.

I’ve had a good experience ordering tyres and car parts from Autodoc. Their prices are often very competitive, and it’s always worth checking them before committing to a deal elsewhere. I’d definitely recommend comparing prices with Costco, as you might be able to get a similar deal or save a bit more.
